Avocent Cyclades PM42 IDPU - by Bomara Associates

Cyclades PM42 3-Phase Intelligent Power Distribution Unit

Cyclades® PM42 3-phase intelligent power distribution unit (IPDU) enables remote power control and system management of IT assets located within data centers that utilize or plan to use more than 5kW of power within server racks. When used in conjunction with Cyclades ACS advanced console servers and DSR® switches, the Cyclades PM 42 IPDU offers quick problem resolution through an integrated management interface. With one or more outlets positively associated with a particular device, users may control power “in line” through a user-defined “hot key” or by using an intuitive Web browser-based GUI.

The unit includes two RS 232 ports: one for remote management through Cyclades ACS console servers, DSR switches as well as DSView® 3 management software, and the second one for daisy chain expansion. Daisy chaining allows operators to control up to 3 units as a single device. Remote management capabilities include event logging and fault notification via email, SMS or SNMP traps.

Cyclades PM42 is equipped with 42 IEC320-C13 power outlets and a fixed power cable with L21-30 termination. It accepts 208Vac 3-phase input voltage and converts this to three separate banks of split-phase 208Vac circuits suitable for powering IT equipment.

Quick Facts

Features

Feature	Benefit
3-Phase input power	Reduce the number of power distribution units required to provide higher power requirements to a single rack
DSView3 Software integration through ACS and/or DSR	Consolidated interface for IT assets as well as power management that provides multiple ways to manage : Telnet, SSH, SNMP or secure web session as well as grouping capabilities for outlets
Individual outlet control	Saves downtime associated with hung up servers and network gear
Phase level metering	Simplifies moves, add-ons and changes while monitoring power consumption costs
Electronic overcurrent protection	Avoids nuisance trips by locking unused outlets when programmable thresholds are exceeded
Sequential start up	Ensures breakers do not trip due to high inrush currents
Flexible mounting options	Several mounting holes provide installation flexibility
Outlet retention clips	Prevents accidental unplugging of loads
Daisy chaining capability	Conservation of valuable console and switched ports
Built-in temperature sensor	Provides integrity of equipment as soon as racks surpass temperature thresholds
UL60950-1 compliant	Ensures safety
